American Record Guide, September/October 2013These two collections are both fine performances of major cello works. Elsing and Rodriguez deal in contrast and brilliance. Elsing and Rodriguez play both composers with outstanding energy and bring out in both a satisfying richness of poetry as well. Their Ginastera stands up well to the competition. This work was written for his cellist wife, Aurora Natola-Ginastera, who recorded it twice in large collections on Pierian and ASV. Elsing puts great energy into Punena 2, Ginastera's piece for solo cello, and the communication between pianist and cellist in all of this material is rather special.
